Black foot

[Ally@43]

Hi
So I notice the bottom of one of guinea pigs foot looks black, I haven’t really noticed it before but she has only just became confident with laptime so before she would would just be in play pen or cage so I have only just notice it
She not seem to be in any pain, she running around fine, eating fine and getting more confident everyday
Thanks

Some guinea pigs do have feet that aren't pink, is there a chance that's all it is or was it definitely a different colour before?

I'm not one of the forum experts but it's possibly just her skin pigment and you didn't notice before.

I can’t be sure I never really noticed before
It’s only now we are picking her up more, that we have notice

You'd be surprised at how often this happens. When Dignified Sir George was a pup I was worried about the skin round his eye. There was no problem, just that he has a few white hairs mixed in with the black ones there.

Just looks like the natural colour of her skin to me! We've had piggies with pink, black, grey/brown and spotty paws
